The basement floor is in.

When Evan and Wayne arrived the concrete team was there and pouring the concrete had already begun. The goal was a 3 ½ inch deep floor. They were all plopping around in their boots spreading the concrete to the designated wall and column marks.

Once enough concrete was down, the smoothing process began. It was done by hand around the edges, the center parts with a 10 foot trowel, and eventually a spinning 4-blade trowel.

The final part of the process included multiple passes with the spinning trowel and tedious, on hands and knees, hand troweling. The ultimate floor is quite smooth, and will turn white when completely dry.
